Haven't seen it before either

That was a great video

Shows that Aussie cars are catching up (2002 car vs 1998 car) but also shows that Skylines are fit to be modified.

Agree with the poster at youtube in that they should've sourced a Skyline with a manual gearbox instead.

Lets get a 34 GTR into it then and compare it to the falcon...

Then let's get a Ford GT and compare it to a 34 GTR :P

Just because the Skyline comes off second best doesn't mean everyone in SAU has to get defensive about it. Geez.

Well....lets get a R390 GT1 and compare it to a Ford GT.

Heh, the R390 is my favourite Nissan car of all time but I wouldn't bet for it against a Ford GT...

Besides, there is zero info on the R390 road car.

Typhoon against R34 GTR is a fair fight, and one i will stand up to it. Factory specs claim typhoon pulls mid 13's, where as R34 should pull high 13's, but really, it does high 12's. The R34 GTT should kill XR6T easy, simply cause the XR is a family car, it wasnt designed as much as the R34. If we wanna talk big, than find a ford, thats built in Australia thats in the same era, say 1998 or 2002. As much as i hate to say it, ford sucked at creating sports cars during those times, it was only till 2004 that ford lifted thier game. Wait till the GTR 2007 gets released, than lets get talking.

Ps: XR6T pulls roughly 220KW, with the added weight, 1600kg, it should be similar to 206KW GTT skyline.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
